CA SB684

Allows advertising displays within redevelopment agency project boundaries (as they existed on December 29, 2011) to remain as on-premises displays until January 1, 2023, if the display was constructed by January 1, 2012

Permits cities, counties, or city-counties to request extensions beyond January 1, 2023 for good cause (demonstrating positive economic impact, no violations in 10 years, and compliance with standards), not to exceed the redevelopment project area expiration date

Requires annual certification by local agencies that advertising copy promotes businesses within the redevelopment project and that at least 10 percent of advertising space (up to 100 square feet) displays the business address or location or route from the nearest freeway offramp

Imposes a $10,000 daily civil fine if advertising copy is not removed within 60 days of federal notice that the display will reduce federal highway funds

Makes the bill an urgency statute effective immediately
